Naan Dough

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, yogurt, and olive oil. Add the yeast mixture once it's frothy.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Prepare Jalapenos and Garlic

    Finely chop 2 jalapenos (seeds removed for less heat if desired) and 4 cloves of garlic.

  6. 6

    Incorporate Flavors

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead in the chopped jalapenos and garlic until evenly distributed.

  7. 7

    Shape Naan

    Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into an oval shape using a rolling pin.

  8. 8

    Cook Naan

    Heat a skillet or tandoor over high heat. Cook each naan for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it puffs up and has golden brown spots.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Brush the cooked naan with melted butter or ghee if desired. Serve warm.
